IdeaPad 3 - (2023) - Everyday Notebook - Windows 11-14" Full HD - 8GB Memory - 128GB Storage - Intel Core i3-1115G - Platinum Grey

While having an extremely affordable price point this unit delivers not only in speed but useability. The keyboard is probably the best that I've ever used and is very solid. The build quality is astounding and very solid with no fear of something breaking, especially in the hinge category of the screen. No, it's not a one handed open but who wants a flimsy hinge anyways. This is more than adequate for students and anyone who desires a solid laptop for both home and school as well as business use. Games run as expected but it's not a high-end gaming device. However, this one delivers awesome performance with just the right amount of RAM and storage. It's not only light enough to carry around but also very responsive. Lenovo did a great job in the assembly and build quality and I can attest doing programming and video editing this unit fits the needs perfectly. My final thoughts is if anyone is considering a new laptop this one ranks very high.

The items is good.

This reminds me very much of the IBM ThinkPad I had years ago. Which isn't surprising considering Lenovo took over IBM's computer business. It's lightweight but sturdy. The keyboard is great for typing on. I use this as a second computer to do my writing when I'm not at home. The 8GB RAM is plenty for my needs. Although this isn't a gaming machine it plays some of my older games like Age of Empires and Diablo II. There are a few downsides though. The hard drive is tiny but I bought an external hard drive for less than upgrading the storage. It would be nice if the USB ports were on the right side instead of the left. And the function keys are a little off. You have to press the Fn keys to get them to work instead of things like the volume keys. All in all though I'm very satisfied with it and would buy another one when the time comes.

Good machine. I'm using it right now. Wonderful personal laptop for home. I don't miss things (my older laptop had) as much as I thought I would...like 10-key and a DVD drive.

This laptop has good specs, great Lenovo keyboard, feels solid but not heavy. No problems with it, and I think most people would find it a great value. I'd give it a 3.5 rather than a 4 if it were possible because the screen just isn't great. It's FHD, but the brightness and sharpness just aren't there. It's okay but not great. Second annoyance, and the reason I call it old fashioned, is lack of USB C. There is an SD Card reader for those who still have those lying around, but no USB C.
